Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[ajdown]

Although I'm not sure what you could learn from an Alien Ant Farm performance at Brixton Academy.

... that there are better ways to have spent £40 than on the ticket?

 

[ajdown]

If anyone is thinking of getting a bus up or down Brixton Hill right now, don't, there aren't any.

"A23 London - Brixton Hill closed both ways between the Brixton Water Lane junction and the Lambert Road junction in Brixton, because of a police incident. Diversion in operation."

There was something on the radio this morning about a stabbing on Brixton Hill. Man in a critical condition. (IIRC)

yeah, just saw it on the news (traffic update), right after mentions of stabbings, although not sure if the two are related.

According to Ceefax the stabbings were North London and the other was East London

Looks like someone got hit by a van near the junction with lambert road. Not nice at all. Road is still taped off.

[ovaltina]

jesus. I'm not clicking on that.

 

[ajdown]

The person involved has long since gone from the scene, it's just the bloodstain on the road and some bits - jacket, shopping etc - left. No people in the picture.

 

[teuchter]

I think it's best if you just don't post that photo up at all, really. I don't understand why you have done.

 

[Badgers]

It is a bit morbib mate

 

[Orang Utan]

Sick bastard

why do you feel the need to post that even?

If it was a picture of the police there blocking the roads (without showing bodies/blood) just to show the impact it was having on traffic, that's fair enough, but... WTF?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I didn't think ajdown could sink lower in my estimation. How wrong could I be? You're a pathetic shitty little ghoul ajdown.

 

[ajdown]

Some of you people are pathetic. You see much, much worse than that picture on the news and in movies every day.

May I just remind all of you that the link came with a warning, and that you chose to view the picture for yourselves. I didn't just post it in the thread as many would have done.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

No, I don't. I don't have a telly. Stop trying to justify yourself. You're creepy.

It's a really weird thing to do AJ. That's a real person who was hurt there and you're not just rubbernecking, you're taking cameraphone pix and posting them on the internet. I find it a bit distrubing.

 

[Crispy]

No, you're the fuckwit in this case. ffs, show a little respect/sympathy eh?

 

[ovaltina]

I didn't just post it in the thread as many would have done.

I somebody posted that sort of pic on here I'm guessing they'd be banned. Freak.

 

[tarannau]

Indeed. It's bad enough people living their gossip vicariously through yellow incident boards, but what sort of a cunt takes snapshots to display to others on bulletin boards.

Whatever happened to the dignified British habit of showing the injured some breathing space and dignity. Now it's all cameraphones and pretending you're some kind of urban Kate Adie for some unknown reason.

 

[ajdown]

I bet if one of the 'popular posters' did the exact same thing, there wouldn't be such a fuss about it. The prejudice of some people is frankly baffling.

Hundreds of people were having to walk down the hill and past the scene, it wasn't "tented off", so there's absolutely nothing there that anyone suffering like I did this morning with transport problems wouldn't have seen.

But why feel the need to post it? All of us affected by the buses not running got to walk past and see it anyway.

Everyone else has walked past an RTA at some point. We know what they look like.

I'm sorry for your 'suffering'

Fuck me, you're an unpleasantly self-centred turd of a man.

 

[ajdown]

Local news, local interest. I'm not interested in probably 95% of the stuff that gets posted on this forum, but I don't feel the need to attack everyone because I don't happen to agree with them.

 

[ajdown]

Fuck me

Indeed. Fuck you, completely.

 

[Belushi]

Is Brixton Hill still closed off? need to go into the office this afternoon and want to know if I should go over to Tooting for the tube instead.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

ajdown. You took the photo. I personally find it deeply creepy that you felt that was OK.

You're entitled to that opinion. I'm sure you'll find that the animal rights loonies have posted far more gruesome pictures around the internet.

they don't even show that sort of thing on the telly. They're very careful not to usually.

So?

 

[ajdown]

One picture with no people in it that's less gruesome than 5 minutes of Casualty or Holby City. Haven't you people got better things to get wound up about this morning?
